MTV won't run ads by group behind "The most dangerous place for an African-American is the womb"

The network aired two television ads – “Teen Angst” and “We Can Help” — from May to November 2010, always after midnight, but according to MTV spokesperson Jeannie Kedas, MTV decided not to accept more Heroic Media spots in a recent media buy. Kedas provided the official MTV statement: “Upon further review, it was hard for us to separate some of the recent tactics of the organization behind the campaign and the ads themselves, so we have opted to not accept them for air this time.”

MTV’s standards department, which is in charge of clearing ads, made the ultimate decision not to run any more Heroic Media-produced ads. Kedas said Heroic was notified of the decision the week after Heroic announced at the April 30 fundraiser that the ads would run on MTV. Yet, Speirs said she was still unaware of MTV’s decision as of Monday, May 9. Speirs told TAI that MTV agreed to run the ads in a recent national buy.

1. Aren't these the same nit wits who in 2004 claimed that behind an Los Angeles

abortion clinic (it was a planed parent hood office that handed out pamphlets and set up women for health care with no medical staff)in a black neighborhood they discovered a big dumpster with 1,000s of dead black fetuses? The local news paper here ran the story. Enough said.
